<p>Hi, first time posting, I'm new there. </p>
<p>So I messed up my freshmen year of college and was put of academic probation. I’m retaking all the classes I failed to bring up my grade to get out of probation. The problem is I can't receive financial aid nor take any loans. So this summer I’m working my butt off to pay for school this fall but I know I would not make enough to pay for the semester. My question is will my school allow me to still attend classes and slowly pay them back before the semester ends?</p>
<p>Help and answers is appreciated.</p>

<p>Some schools participate in a monthly payment plan (Tuition Pay, or Tuition Management). Check to see if your school does this. If so, you would sign up (very soon) and pay by the month. HOWEVER if you don’t pay in full when you are supposed to, you will not be given a “payment plan” in addition…so make sure you will have the money to cover these monthly costs for the whole term or year.</p>
<p>Most colleges do not do “financing”…they are not in the business of managing college financing in the form of payment plans. Check with your college to see how what they do.</p>
<p>Can you study part-time, and just take the classes you can afford to pay for? It might take more semesters that was, but you could keep working and making money while you do this.</p>
<p>Though I hestitate to post this…most schools take credit cards.</p>

<p>Not as true now as in the past. Plus schools that take credit cards also charge a surcharge to cover the credit card costs.</p>
<p>Hence, the hesitation…</p>
<p>I would go part-time and enroll in a monthly payment plan. Plus taking fewer classes will help you concentrate on getting your grades back up.</p>
<p>SOME schools, and I emphasize SOME, will let you enroll and take the classes without full payment on your account. They may let you go as long as right before registering for the next term’s classes before putting you on a suspended status for non payment. You really should talk to the Burser’s office and find out exactly what the polices are for your school. They may work with you if it looks like it is a reasonable expectation that you will be able to meet your living/school expenses and pay off the semester’s tuition by the term end, and may even waive some of the late charges. Again, this is up to the school. Also if you are close enough in your GPA and requirements to get back into the eligible range for aid, there may be more leniency in this.</p>
<p>How much have you borrowed and how much are we talking about here? If this is a very expensive school, it might be wiser for you to take a gap year, or leave of absence and take courses locally. If this is a local situation with in state pricing and you are commuting, then it’s a whole other story.</p>
